Made an account just to say how cool looking this game looks! Awesome job! Team Magenta!! :D

Wow thanks!

Finally got a chance to play it myself yesterday with some other devs (including Derek) and it was a great time! Well, I got my ass kicked most of the time but that was still fun. I also realized that there's still some tweaking to be done before I'd consider releasing it to a wider audience, but for two weeks of work I felt that it held up pretty well.

This looks really nice, but I think it's going to suffer due to the controller requirements. I myself only have one Xbox360 controller that I can actually hook up to my Windows machine, the rest are wireless. And even if I did have four wired controllers my machine only has 2 USB ports. Any plans on an XBLIG release? I could play it that way.

Since it's made in XNA, releasing it to XBLIG would be pretty simple. It already works just fine on the Xbox (that's what it was running on in the video we posted). I'd like more people to be able to play it, so we might just do that.

Unfortunately there's no way we could get it out on XBLIG in time for the compo, the release process is quite long (it took us about a month to get our last XBLIG release passed review). Also, unless there was a recent change, you cannot release XBLIG games for free

Ultimately this probably means that very few people will be playing our game and it will do poorly in the ranking, but this was the game we wanted to make. The prize is your product, right?

I definitely would like to release post-compo Mac and Linux versions. Monogame would also allow us to release it on mobile devices which would be pretty crazy. You could take BLOODBALL anywhere with a phone, 4 controllers and a usb hub.
